After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 458 Things are different now
Things are very different now. Although she couldn't help but feel a little emotional, Su Xiaoxiao still decided to go in and choose some new fabric to make clothes for herself.

When Su Xiaoxiao finished buying the fabric and walked out of the fabric shop, it was already getting late. Carrying the fabric in her arms, she walked down the street. There were bustling crowds all around, but everyone was rushing home, and the shops on both sides were also in a hurry to close up shop.

Looking at the crowd, Su Xiaoxiao began to miss the days she spent with Pei Yuan. Back then, she was happy every day. Although there were occasional arguments, they were sweet burdens.

Holding the cloth in her arms, Su Xiaoxiao unknowingly walked to the outskirts of the city. When she looked up again, she found herself in front of the big house that Pei Yuan had bought for her.

Now the place is deserted and deserted. No one has come here for a long time. The steps in front of the door are covered with fallen leaves. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When Pei Yuan bought this large house in the suburbs for Su Xiaoxiao, she and her two children played happily in the yard, living a carefree life every day. But now, such good days are over. The house is empty and the past is gone. Su Xiaoxiao felt very sad.

While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of bells from a mandarin jacket. Then she saw the curtain of a carriage being lifted, and several men with fierce appearances jumped out. They were clearly not good people. They were all carrying weapons and rushed to Su Xiaoxiao, surrounding her.

"Who are you?"

Su Xiaoxiao scolded.

"Of course Manager Su wouldn't recognize us nobody, but we do recognize you. You are the wife of the current Grand General of the State, aren't we right?"

A strange man who looked like a bridge pier that had come to life, short and fat, with a goatee and a very lewd appearance, came over to talk to Su Xiaoxiao first. It seemed that he was the leader of these people.

Su Xiaoxiao knew that these people had come prepared and recognized her. "Since you've come to see me, may I ask what brings you here? Who sent you? What do you want with me?"

"Haha... Manager Su is so straightforward. We don't actually know each other. Someone really did send us here. You cut off their source of income, so they sent us to teach you a lesson!"

"Oh? I cut off their source of income?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought about the matter carefully and immediately thought of the time when Liu Datou colluded with the owner of Tianji Grocery Store in Beijing to make fake jam. Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng found their hideout and sent the whole group to jail.

"Were you sent by the owner of Tianji Grocery Store?"

"Haha... Madam Su is indeed very clever. You guessed right. It seems you know you've offended us. Now give our manager an explanation and tell us how you plan to compensate us for our losses."

Su Xiaoxiao was utterly speechless. So you stole our recipe to make fake jam and sell it, and even damaged our jam workshop's signboard. We reported you, and in the end, we still have to compensate you for your losses!

"You were in the wrong first, so shouldn't you be the ones making compensation to us?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, these people are really shameless. But now she is all alone, in such a desolate place. She is afraid she will suffer. It is a place where she can shout until she is hoarse and no one will come.

The short, fat man grinned maliciously as he approached, beckoning the others to surround Su Xiaoxiao. But they were wrong; Su Xiaoxiao was no pushover. Despite her seemingly frail appearance, she possessed martial arts skills.

During this time, she stayed at Qian Musheng's mansion, and would ask Qian Musheng to teach her some martial arts moves whenever she had free time. With quick hands and eyes, she picked up a tree branch from the ground, about the thickness of a bowl, and used it as a weapon. She swung it at the face of one of the men who was about to grab her.

The man hadn't expected Su Xiaoxiao to be so forceful. The stick struck his cheek squarely, and he immediately started crying and rolling on the ground in pain.

Then, the other burly men were knocked to the ground by Su Xiaoxiao as they were about to come over.

Finally, only the short, fat guy was left. Su Xiaoxiao simply waved at him with her hand, "Come here! I won't hit you!"

The short, fat man wasn't stupid. Seeing all his accomplices lying on the ground in pain, unable to get up, would he believe what Su Xiaoxiao said? Didn't Su Xiaoxiao beat him up in the past?

The short, fat man was tough on the outside, but looking at his companions who had been knocked down by Su Xiaoxiao, he was terrified. He continued to argue, pointing his finger at Su Xiaoxiao: "Let me tell you, my brother is the commander-in-chief of Minnan County. If you dare to touch me, my brother will definitely not let you off easily!"

So that's how it is. No wonder they were so arrogant. They could come and kidnap people without hesitation, and they weren't afraid even knowing that Su Xiaoxiao was General's wife.

But as he spoke, his eyes flickered uncertainly. Su Xiaoxiao remembered that when Pei Yuan took her to the military camp last time, she seemed to have met the Minnan County Commander once. He was a very upright-looking man. Could he really have such a rogue younger brother?

"Really? That's perfect. Actually, I have some dealings with the General. I'll ask him next time I see him if he has a younger brother like you. Oh, by the way, I wonder what crime it would be to try to kidnap a general's wife from the imperial court?"

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, seeing the short, fat man trembling, he could no longer pretend and knelt down in front of Su Xiaoxiao. "My brother is very busy every day, so please don't bother him with such a small matter. This was my fault today. Manager Su, please be lenient and just let it go, okay?"

"Ha ha……"

After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head back and laughed, "How could the General have a younger brother like you? But even if he did, he probably wouldn't dare to admit it, right?"

"Yes, I was just talking nonsense. I've only heard of the General, I'm not his brother."

Su Xiaoxiao tightened her grip on the stick, which frightened the short, fat man so much that he immediately knelt on the ground again, saying, "I won't do it again! I'll never dare to claim relatives randomly again!"

"Go back and tell your manager that before he comes looking for revenge, he should think twice about what he's capable of."

The short, fat man quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Su Xiaoxiao several more times. He then led his injured companions onto the carriage and fled in panic.

The short, fat man didn't run away. In the middle of nowhere, encountering such a female demon, he wouldn't even know how he died.
